I have so much wood that I really don’t need to look out for anything new- but when Chris from The Dee Mill drops off a board, I pay attention. In this case, it was one small board of Japanese Elm or Selkova from the Portland Japanese Garden. I sawed it up for back, sides, fretboard and headplate and I’m very pleased. Paired with a Cedar top, it’s bright but rich, with a nice sparkle to the tone.
